Reprocessing and Biological Safety of Medical Devices - Seminar by NSF and Dr. Brill Institute

Update from 13 October 2025: The November 2025 date for this seminar has just been canceled. However, you are welcome to register now for the next date:

NSF and Dr. Brill Institutes are hosting the seminar “Reprocessing and Biological Safety of Medical Devices” in Hamburg on 16-17 April 2026, which will be held in German.

The interpretation and implementation of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices by notified bodies is becoming increasingly concrete. In connection with the biological safety of reusable and reprocessable medical devices, it is advisable to take a closer look at DIN EN ISO 17664-1 and -2 as well as the ISO 10993 series of standards. These series of standards are in line with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and provide a detailed roadmap for compliance with the essential safety and performance requirements.

In this seminar, we will examine the regulatory aspects of reusable and reprocessable medical devices and provide technical background information on hygiene and microbiology so that participants will be able to understand the requirements and implement them in practice. We will also discuss practical examples and address your current questions and challenges.

During the seminar, participants will learn which regulatory content is specifically relevant to the topic of reprocessing medical devices and how biological safety is taken into account for reusable and reprocessable medical devices. In addition, participants will develop an understanding of the process and mechanisms involved in validating reprocessing procedures. This is the only way to ensure ongoing compliance with regulatory and normative requirements for medical devices.
